Terry Guiel, Black Horse part ways

Terry Guiel

(PETERBOROUGH) After several years of performing regularly, both as a solo act and fronting a band, singer/musician Terry Guiel has parted ways with what has effectively been his second home, The Black Horse.
"You can get stale at the same location if you are there for many years, playing for the same faces," says Guiel of his separating himself from the George Street North pub.
"Every place has a shelf life."
Over the past five years, Gueil has fronted both Jericho's Wall and Off The Wall at the Black Horse on most Saturday nights. As well, he performed regularly as a solo act on Sunday and Monday nights.
Off The Wall, comprised as of late of Barry Haggarty, Rob Phillips, Andrew Affleck and Derek McKendrick, is continuing on with its regular Saturday night gig.
Peterborough, notes Guiel, "has exploded with new bars and restaurants with many more opportunities for musicians like myself who are versatile and can do a wide variety of music.
"I enjoyed my time at the Black Horse, especially the years with Jericho's Wall and Off The Wall but it was time to move on. It (his departure) creates new fan bases and a fresh approach for both parties."
For his part, Black Horse owner Ray Kapoor, who has known Guiel for years going to back to when he regularly played the Historic Red Dog when Kapoor was part-owner with the late John Greco, Guiel is "a wonderful entertainer...we've had quite a nice relationship over the years.
"There are no hard feelings here. It was time for a change, simple as that."
